They fully appreciate the fact that
when Sank Centre shall become live

1t may be incredible, but it is true
that Sank Centre is not free from
those who believe, or at least say that
they believe, that railroads are a
curse to the country, and that we
should be far better circumstanced if
there were no roads within a hundred
miles. 1t does seem strange that such
old fogyism could exist and find ex.
preston. Such citizens may have
their valuable uses somewhere, but
they are dead weights to the spirit of
progress in live community. They
belong to the age of the sickle, the
spinning wheel, and the fiat boat.

Railroad Men Come High.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
When talking with the genial presi-
dent OF the New York Central railroad
the other day. the conversation turn
ed on the development OF the railway
systems OF the country. Said Mr..
Depew: Few people have any idea
OF the extent and complexity OF the
railroads of this country. And
scarcely any one but those who have
tried it realizes the difficulties in the
way of successfully operating them.
The large expense involved and the
keen competition met on every hand,
render the problem OF how to make a
railroad pay one which comparative
ly few can solve. In fact, our roads
have Lately grown so rapidly that the
number of men who are properly
equipped to manage them successfully
is very limited When the interstate
commission was recently created,
gave it as my opinion that it would
be almost impossible for the President
to secure as commissioners practical
railroad men of recognized ability,
owing to the small salary attached to
the office. This was taken up by pa
pers all over the country.
How IS this, Mr.. Depew,' they
said, when many OF our ablest divines,
Judges and journalists don't get any
more han 50, 600 a year? Why then,
should n railroad commissioner get
more? they demanded.s
"Tne reasons, | think, are obvious.
Practical railroad men are already EN-
ployel |. Men who can make q railroad
paw can command almost any salaries
they choose. Stockholders of roads
must have them at any price II they
wish to keep their compan'es sol vent.
Prot. Huxley would not be likely to
make a successful business man, and
n large mercantile concern would not
be very safe in mis- hands. In the
same way the management OF great
railway could not he safely entrusted
to one of our ablest divines. 1t is the
speca al ability to make the road pay
that is valuable"

The Daughtcr's Room.

The care OF the sitting-rooms and
kitchens come under the management
OF the grownup portion of the family,
but every little girl from 10 years old
and upwards loves to think that her
bedroom is her very own. her special
domain, where she may reign absolute
ly, with none to dispute her right.
Here, then. is the mothers chance, il
she is only iudicious enough to turn it
to account. Encourage the little one
by all means in the belief that the
room is hers-hers to beautify and
adorn in any way which her fertile
little brain may advise; hers to re-
tire to when she wishes to be alone,
eli her to do stern battle with her les
sons, or, girllike, to dream her won
derful day dreams, and hers above all
to keep in perfect order and neatness.
This knowledge will go long way to-
wards fostering in The child all those
elements OF character so essential in
the woman, and will be the means OF
making her gradually exercise her in
dividual tastes and ideas, and thus
acquire an interest in domestic con-
Germs which, under other circum-
stances, she might never obtain

Another Cornsd Reef R.eipe.

To four gallons OF water add one
and one half pounds of sugar or mo-
lasses. two ounces OF saltptre, and six
pounds OF rock salt or pure common
salt. Ii the meat is to be kept through
the summer or more than three
months, use nine pounds OF salt.
Boil all together gently and skim.
Have the beef or tongue closely pack
ed in the vessel in which they are to
remain and pour the pickle over while
boiling not. Pour on enough to
cover the meat well and place a
weight upon it. The meat will be fit
for use in ten days. The same pickle
may be used the second time by add
ing about one third of the ingredients
and heating it again. The meat can
remain in the pickle any length of time
when six pounds OF salt are used with
out becoming to salt. If nine pounds
of salt are used, the meat may need
to be freshened before boiling. This
quantity of pickle will cover 100
pounds of meat properly packed. To
cook-cover with boiling water and
simmer gently till tender-about three
quarters of an hour for every pound
OF beef Let it cool in the water in
which it is boiled, slice thin and serve.
Beefe picked after this recipe is the
very incest we have ever tasted

Diet for Nervous People.

For food there should be given meat
in small quantities, plenty OF fish. es-
pecialy shell fish, as much bread and
butter as may be desired, creamed or
mashed potatoes and simple puddings.
Fruit should play an important part
in the dietary. and should be eaten
before breakfast, baked apples
oranges, pears. Coca should be used
as beverage, instead of tea or coffee.
If milk be liked, and be digested east
ly, it may be freely used; many physi-
clans order 1t cooked. 1t will some
times be found that soups are not
easily digested, and beer and spirits
should be avoided. Nervous people
must take time to get out of doors
every day if they wish to recover.

Mr.. c. A. Sherman, Tamarac. Penn,
reports to The Ohio Farmer expert
ence OF his neighborhood in spreading
manure direct from stables: 1--WE
haul out in winter on sleds, spread as
evenly as we can, the snow making it
easier to do this. l would not advice
spreading on billy lands. Those hav-
ing level or gently sloping fields will
save valuable time in the spring by
hauling on snow; it is easier to load
and ons can haul larger loads. There is
practically no loss if hauled every few
weeks or oftener, If carrying plenty of
stock. One of our most successful
farmers hauis manure every few days,
spreading as fast as hauled. This
saves extra work, and believe gives
better returns. have had good re-
suits from this practice on clover sod

Notes for FarmerA,

Hen lice will get upon horses when
the fowls are permitted to roost in a
stable. These pests move about at
night. and will at times trouble horses
very much. The remedy is to keep
fowls out of the stable. 1.-THE horses
are badly troubled with them rub
kerosene on the brush and rub
them well with it.
In the reports OF several dairy farms
OF Denmark in the vicinity OF Copen-
haean, it is stated that the yield of
each COW is regularly weighed, and
the excellent average OF 900 gallons
per COW is general. When a COW falls
below $50 per annum, she is led of at
once to the butcher.
That is good advice which the Home
stead gives to farmers who use pork
chiefly for meat: Select Gull from
the flock, or if there is no flock on the
farm buy a sheep, and confning it
closely, feed it all the corn it will clean
up each day. II it was in lair fall or
der at the start it will be in excellent
condition for dressing by the time a
bushel of this grain IS consumed.
Dressed and hung in some outbuilding
alter the winter freezing sets in it will
prove delicious and very handy as
long as it lasts, and will not spoil for a
lone time. The pelt will pay for the
corn, or dyed wiilmake an attractive
parlor rug.
The old superstition that pigs must
be killed in certain quarters OF the
moon to prevent it's frying to nothing
in cooking is not believed by anybody
now. That there is great difference in
pork in this respect is true; but it is
due to variations in feed. Corn in the
ear is in this country re ,arded as the
best food to finish of on. In England
peas or barley or combination OF
both are preferred and for yonng fat
tening hogs | prefer either to corn.
Young pigs easily get Their mouths sore
on hard corn and this compels them
to live mainly on swill and other soft
food. This is one reason why young
pork wastes SO badly in. cooking. II
